One Love(4 Cricket), a photo from Himachal Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

Been to places, one thing I found very common in INDIA,....Cricket!! It's being played at Mohali and played at Chhitkul with same spirit. I have seen it become more than just a game.

The only problem with playing cricket in the mountains is the long walk going after a ball that's been hit for six. Nice action shot.

hi Manu
this is "different" composition... I love the moment you have captured... the position of the ball and the batsman just about to hit it... the keeper all ready to catch it and the audience keeping their fingers crossed... truly this captures the religion that is cricket in India...
coming to my duty as critique... I feel that the colours aren't saturated enough and the image lacks sharpness... also a black border wud have been better on this almost white image... I have posted a workshop... hope you like it...

PS: Perfect timing of the shot .. I like the way ball is suspended in the air

Namaste Manu

Excellent graphism & sharpness. I like the repetition of the houses in the background. Well done!
